"The Comparison Trap"
Talking about lupus with people who don't have it is hard.
Understanding your own condition without comparing yourself to others can be tricky too!
Do you find yourself searching the internet about your symptoms?
Do you compare how you are feeling to others?
Are you posting on pages about your symptoms because you are wondering what is "normal"?

VolunteerEach year, many companies join the movement to solve the cruel mystery of lupus through corporate teams, sponsorship, cause-related marketing, and outright giving.
Every advance in the understanding of a disease such as lupus—its causes, its effects on the body, the development of new drugs and treatments—is based on research. The Lupus Foundation of America’s Center for Clinical Trials Education is the resource for people with lupus and their families who want to learn about clinical trials.
